The Canon EOS 7D Mark II is one of Canon’s latest products, which got unveiled not so long ago at Photokina 2014 in Germany.

The highly anticipated DSLR takes advantage of a new autofocus system with 65 autofocus pints (all are cross type and deliver advanced levels of sensitivity in portrait and landscape mode). The 7D Mark II arrives with a 20.2MP CMOS sensor, which is the same you find in the EOS 70D. However, the processor has been upgraded to the new Dual Digic 6 chip, so the DSLR is expected to perform a whole lot better. Anyway, in some locations Canon is already accepting pre-orders for the EOS 7D Mark II, like it’s the case in US where you can already sign up for the new shooter, if you’re willing to pay $1,799 / €1,421.

While photographers wait for your brand new shooter to be shipped out to them, Canon Japan has just posted a sample of new images and movies for the EOS 7D Mark II. You can check them out below to get an idea of how the camera performs (for the full-res versions go here). They might be able to help you decide if your financial efforts should go into Canon’s latest and greatest EOS 7D Mark II, or not.
